Piercing Tools

Fiber installation methods also include the utilization of pneumatic piercing tools. HammerHead® piercing tools are portable, economical and give high production in residential and commercial areas where finished landscapes exist. The stitch boring method bores from small pits to the next followed by the new product installation. It is the preferred method of many contractors because of the low operating cost per foot of installation, reasonable equipment investment and minimal expertise required for equipment operation. In addition, due to the minimal surface disruption of the method, clean up and restoration costs are minimized. Ask your local Ditch Witch dealer for a product demonstration.
